A Pigskin Hero Synopsis
Rushville is excited over the football game to be played that day between its rival teams, the Bearcats and the Carnations. Word reaches the latter team that Spike Hennessey, a famous quarterback, is to be a ringer on the "Bearcats" team.
Berth Control Synopsis
Eddie and his bride manage to escape the hazing of the wedding guests, but is later caught by Lee, the hick detective, who has received a fake wire offering $1,000 reward for Eddie's capture as a dangerous criminal. He locates Eddie on the trail and handcuffs himself to him. Lee releases Eddie so the latter can wire his friends, and the bridegroom misses his train. He hurries by taxi to the jail, where Lee has taken the bride in lieu of Eddie. Eddie and his bride are locked up together, but are later released upon receipt of an explanatory telegram from their practical joking friends.
"A Pigskin Hero" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Berth Control" offers its own unique cult appeal.
